Sylvan Caryatid
Source: Theros Bestiary TBVXII
Scattered throughout Setessa are several groves that are sacred to Karametra and Nylea, made up of slender trees with almost humanlike forms. It is said that whoever enters one of these sacred groves in search of peace will find it—and take root, becoming part of the grove. The trees here are caryatids, capable of animating in defense of the groves or the city but otherwise resting in silent stillness.
